Abstract
A system, method and program product for spear phishing. As system is disclosed having a system for automatically constructing a background story using computational logic that includes true declarative content associated with a target; a system for automatically constructing an expanded story using computational logic that includes deceptive declarative content; and a communication generator that generates a communication including the true declarative content, the deceptive declarative content, and an actionable element.
Claims18
A spear phishing system, comprising:
- a system for storing information unique to a target, wherein the target consists of an individual person and wherein the information includes at least one of a belief, a knowledge, a background, a plan or a goal of the target;
- a system for expressing the information in a computational logic that represents beliefs, knowledge, backgrounds, plans, and goals in a mathematical formulism;
- a system for automatically constructing a background story using computational logic that includes true declarative content determined from the information associated with the target;
- a system for automatically constructing an expanded story based on the background story using computational logic that includes deceptive declarative content;
- and
- a communication generator that generates a unique communication for the target, including the expanded story and an actionable element.
A method of spear phishing, comprising:
- collecting information unique to a target, wherein the target consists of an individual person and wherein the information includes at least one of a belief, a background, or a plan of the target;
- expressing the information in a computational logic that represents beliefs, backgrounds, and plans in a mathematical formulism;
- automatically constructing a background story using computational logic that includes true declarative content determined from the information associated with the target;
- automatically constructing an expanded story based on the background story using computational logic that includes deceptive declarative content;
- and
- generating a communication including the expanded and an actionable element.
A program product stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, which when executed by a processor, provides a spear phishing operation, comprising:
- program code for collecting information unique to a target, wherein the target consists of an individual person and where the information includes at least one of a belief, a knowledge, a background, a plan or a goal of the target;
- program code for expressing the information in a computational logic that represents beliefs, knowledge, backgrounds, plans and goals in a mathematical formulism;
- program code for automatically constructing a background story using computational logic that includes true declarative content determined from information uniquely associated with a target;
- program code for automatically constructing an expanded story based on the background story using computational logic that includes deceptive declarative content;
- and
- program code that generates a communication including the true declarative content, the deceptive declarative content, and an actionable element.
